This was a mismerge of a semantic conflict in my merge of the driver
core updates, where commit ff62b8e658 ("driver core: make struct
class.devnode() take a const *") changed the devnode function pointer
type. In the meantime, the drm tree I merged earlier had introduced a
new use of that in commit 8bf4889762 ("drivers/accel: define kconfig
and register a new major").
And of course this happens when I'm traveling with my laptop, and thus
didn't do a full allmodconfig build between every pull and before
pushing my work out.
So I only noticed later as I was doing my full build.

The accelerator devices are exposed to user-space using a dedicated
major. In addition, they are represented in /dev with new, dedicated
device char names: /dev/accel/accel*. This is done to make sure any
user-space software that tries to open a graphic card won't open
the accelerator device by mistake.
The above implies that the minor numbering should be separated from
the rest of the DRM devices. However, to avoid code duplication, we
want the drm_minor structure to be able to represent the accelerator
device.
To achieve this, we add a new drm_minor* to drm_device that represents
the accelerator device. This pointer is initialized for drivers that
declare they handle compute accelerator, using a new driver feature
flag called DRIVER_COMPUTE_ACCEL. It is important to note that this
driver feature is mutually exclusive with DRIVER_RENDER. Devices that
want to expose both graphics and compute device char files should be
handled by two drivers that are connected using the auxiliary bus
framework.
In addition, we define a different IDR to handle the accelerators
minors. This is done to make the minor's index be identical to the
device index in /dev/. Any access to the IDR is done solely
by functions in accel_drv.c, as the IDR is define as static. The
DRM core functions call those functions in case they detect the minor's
type is DRM_MINOR_ACCEL.
We define a separate accel_open function (from drm_open) that the
accel drivers should set as their open callback function. Both these
functions eventually call the same drm_open_helper(), which had to be
changed to be non-static so it can be called from accel_drv.c.
accel_open() only partially duplicates drm_open as I removed some code
from it that handles legacy devices.
To help new drivers, I defined DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS macro to easily
set the required function operations pointers structure.

Add a new Kconfig for the accel subsystem. The Kconfig currently
contains only the basic CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL option that will be used to
decide whether to compile the accel registration code. Therefore, the
kconfig option is defined as bool.
The accel code will be compiled as part of drm.ko and will be called
directly from the DRM core code. The reason we compile it as part of
drm.ko and not as a separate module is because of cyclic dependency
between drm.ko and the separate module (if it would have existed).
This is due to the fact that DRM core code calls accel functions and
vice-versa.
The accelerator devices will be exposed to the user space with a new,
dedicated major number - 261.
The accel init function registers the new major number as a char device
and create corresponding sysfs and debugfs root entries, similar to
what is done in DRM init function.
I added a new header called drm_accel.h to include/drm/, that will hold
the prototypes of the drm_accel.c functions. In case CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL
is set to 'N', that header will contain empty inline implementations of
those functions, to allow DRM core code to compile successfully
without dependency on CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL.
I Updated the MAINTAINERS file accordingly with the newly added folder
and I have taken the liberty to appropriate the dri-devel mailing list
and the dri-devel IRC channel for the accel subsystem.
